Support staff is needed in every industry. When it comes to the hospitality industry, temporary staffing can be a very useful resource. Increases in business volume or unexpected changes can leave you high and dry from a staffing standpoint. Wouldn’t it be great if you had someone that you could call that would be able to send over reliable staff to meet your hospitality staffing needs? You do.

Hospitality staffing means several things. We can provide staff for a variety of employers:

Landscapers

Hotels

Caterers

Banquet Halls and Special Event Centers

Restaurants

Social Clubs

Party Planners

Success in the hospitality industry requires a team effort. Banquet directors need servers who can interact well with guests and work well with other staff. Hotel managers need housekeepers who can get their job done effectively, but also communicate with front desk personnel so that rooms can be booked. We could go on and on, but the truth is, we don’t have time. We are busy making sure that our temporary staffers are ready to make seamless transitions in the workplace.

We train our temporary staff to be team oriented and dedicated to their jobs. We ensure that they are prepared to work with other employees regardless of whether they are fellow temps or your full-time staff. In addition to teamwork, we stress the importance of customer service. Hospitality staff is often on the front lines, directly interacting with customers. Our temps know how to treat your guests with respect and provide over-the-top service when they are on the job. We all know that in any business happy customers make for long-term relationships and referrals. When it comes to hospitality, we know what an employee needs in their skill set and we make sure that our temps are:

Well groomed

Courteous

Diligent at completing Their responsibilities

Flexible

As we offer hospitality staff for a variety of industries, we can provide staff to fill multiple positions. Call us when you are in need of:

Gardeners/Landscapers

Housekeepers

Servers

Bartenders

Dishwashers

Support staff to set up before and clean up after events

Greeters

Hosts/Hostesses

Ushers

We have the hospitality staff you need. When you are trying to focus on organizing for a busy holiday season or a large upcoming event, you will not have the time to interview multiple candidates for unskilled positions. You do have time to call us and discuss what you need. Tell us what kind of employee you are looking for, and we will send the temps that best fit your needs.

We offer staffing option to fit your needs

Temporary staff- In the event that you only need some extra support staff for a limited time or for select events

Temp to hire- If you want to take your time to decide whether you need a temporary employee or a full time. This option let’s you try out a new employee while being able to keep your options open.

Direct placement- For instances where you know from the beginning that you need an employee to join your team, but your schedule does not afford you the necessary time to properly select an employee from the large pool of applicants out there.

When it comes to construction staffing, temporary labor is not only a good option; it is a necessary one. Granted, construction companies and foremen might have particular skilled laborers in mind who can save them time when they are going through the staffing phase of a new project. But what about the support staff who may not need specialized skills? Every job site needs clean up and staff to work in assisting roles. We all know that the craftsmen would not get the job done without backup.

That’s where we come in. We provide unskilled workers for any job site with as little effort as a phone call. You do not have to spend time interviewing candidates or worry about paying the various costs associated with full-time employees, like insurance or payroll services. We can send workers in right away who are ready to help your more advanced guys get the job done. Interviewing is a main focus of our business, so we know how to spot a good candidate and then make sure they work out in the field. You also get to choose how many workers you need and on which days, so every job stays within budget.

We know that experience is essential. Even unskilled workers need to know their way around a jobsite. Our temporary staff goes through safety training courses to ensure that they are aware of how to react in any situation. After that we place them in the field where they gain they experience they need to perform. Between training and time in the field, our workers evolve into assets in their position. They need less supervision and micro-management than employees hired fresh off the street. They are often cross-trained as well. Our guys can clean up job sites and equipment, unload materials and back up skilled workers like carpenters and electricians. This is really all that you can ask for from an unskilled worker.

One last point to make is preparation. How many times have you seen laborers show up without the proper equipment and wondered how they intended to work? You can’t get a job done if you don’t have the material–it’s that simple. We get it, and that’s why we make sure that our laborers are ready to work before they get to your site. If the job calls for it, we supply:

Back Belts

Dust Masks

Ear Plugs

Gloves

Hard Hats

Safety Boots

Safety Glasses

Safety Goggles

When you call us, you’ll have no headaches first thing in the morning because a low-level guy showed up unprepared. We make sure of it and so should any agency that works with you to staff your project. We advise that you make sure anyone who sends you staff has thought these things through in advance, you will see the difference in the quality of the work.

So you run an office and besides managing work flow and meeting with clients, one of the primary issues you deal with on a daily basis is staffing. When it comes down to it, your employees are one of the most important parts of your business. It doesn’t matter how good your product or service is, if the people behind it cannot make things happen. Add in budget constraints and finding the proper balance can be a daunting task. Our clients have found that one of the best ways to balance quality and budget is to supplement their staff with quality temporary personnel.

You may be concerned about a staffing agency’s ability to provide ‘quality’ temporary help. A common misconception is that people work temp jobs because they cannot find full-time employment. While that may be true in some cases, many workers choose temporary work because they seek the same flexibility that businesses seek. People have different lives, interests, schedules and responsibilities and temporary agencies offer opportunities that are not available in the traditional job market. In addition to recruiting and screening quality employees we have an interview process that helps us evaluate prospective placements not only in terms of skill level, but also personality, attitude and work philosophy. Our goal is to match the right employee with each customer we serve.

There are numerous advantages to supplementing your staff with temporary employees:

Lowered costs: Temporary employees do not accrue benefits expenses. Additionally, since we are responsible for payroll and compliance issues, your HR and payroll department can devote time to other tasks which saves your company money and increases productivity.

Greater flexibility: If key employees need time off for maternity leave, family business, extended vacation or sudden illness, temporary employees can help ensure that your business does not stop running prior to the full-time employee’s return.

On-demand hiring capability: Businesses often deal with fluctuations in their business cycles. Whether these fluctuations are seasonal or your business receives a large order, utilizing temporary workers allows you to right-size your business, up or down, without dealing with hiring and termination issues.

A trial run with potential hires: Many of our clients turn to temporary employees as a way to “test out” someone for a full-time position. There is great value for both the employer and the temporary employee to test the relationship prior to entering into full-time employment. After this temp-to-hire period, the probability of a “long-term fit” is quite high.

This is a small list of benefits that make temporary workers a great option for small and large businesses. Temporary agencies specialize in recruiting and hiring and are focused on providing the best workers possible to their clients. We have been in business since 1985 and would love the opportunity to work with you. Try us out and see how we can help.

No business can run without employees. Often businesses hire a full-time staff that they keep on year-round. This is not always the case, however. Seasonal fluctuations, projects that need labor for a limited amount of time, or even covering for staff that are on leave can sometimes leave managers wondering how to bridge the gap. That is where we come in. We are Labor Systems Job Center. We make it our business to help your business.

We know that sometimes you need staff in a pinch. We also know that you might be busy running your business and do not have time for the hiring process. We are the answer to both challenges.

Of course we have to bill you, but instead of your payroll department cutting multiple checks, matching payroll taxes, dealing with workers’ compensation issues, as well as government compliance for all those employees, you cut us one check. We take care of the details after that. This gives you more time to concentrate on making money for your business.
